Everyone that’s used Unity for even a small amount of time has probably noticed that it exhibits Transform floating point precision errors in certain situations. This is when your GameObject’s Transform had nice round integers for position, rotation, and scale just a second ago… and suddenly the values look like 0.99999 or 7.528331e-05. This will[…]

I was recently fortunate enough to attend Unite 2015 in Boston. I was even more fortunate to be one of the 300 or so developers there to score what Google was giving away at Unite – a Project Tango dev kit and a Durovis Dive 7 headset. Mobile VR with positional tracking is a pretty[…]

I’ve been playing with the new uGUI system that was introduced in Unity v4.6 and I’ve gotta say, I love it. I’ve been a fan of NGUI as my go-to UI solution for years now and wasn’t going to switch without good reason. Well, I found plenty of reasons… and I plan to retire NGUI[…]

I suspect that many other developers would disagree with me, but I have used the Unity 3D game engine to develop non-game apps (like Kiduoso – First Words) and have been very happy with the decision. This is my story of researching cross-platform mobile app frameworks and why I ultimately chose Unity as the foundation[…]

Perfect for when your game/app provides in-app purchases and you want[…]

Kiduoso – First Words is a free educational tool designed to teach your children their first words in a fun, effective, and fully customizable way. With Kiduoso your child will discover new words in a[…]

This is just a minor bug fix release. We had received reports of some people having an issue where GradeWizard would simply crash when you attempted to enter grades on the Class page. I believe this was a device-specific bug as it wasn’t consistently reproducible. It did seem to occur on the Google Nexus devices.[…]

I’ve been working on a mobile app that involves recording audio via microphone input and then playing back that audio. As part of that I’ve been experimenting with how Unity handles sample rates. I wanted to investigate optimizing the audio filesize and also make sure there were no conflicts between mic sample rate, audio file[…]

The Candy Jam just seemed like a really good reason to make a game. Originally, I had planned to just change a project I already had in the works to include candy… but that felt too easy. I wanted a little more challenge than that. I wanted to be much more sophisticated and experimental in[…]
